>How can people be so nihilists about this? The intent of copyright was never to be a never-ending "golden goose"! It was to give a very limited sole ability to monetize something in exchange for moving the arts and sciences forward. Generational wealth was never a consideration. Nor was how helpful other people were to the enterprise. It is amazing that the perception (and reality thanks to unlimited money from mega-corps) has changed to be something that someone "owns" and is "owed". It isn't and never was. It was only ever meant to be an encourangment for the good of society not for the individual.
